It's important for me to think I'm mixed-race.

Breaking the world record in '92 was a very special personal moment, but I'd say my favorite moment as a decathlete was winning the Olympic gold medal.

It's important for me to think I'm mixed-race.

As a young child, I was never a crier. I never cried to get my way, or even when I was in pain.

I was playing little league baseball when Bruce Jenner was winning the gold but I don't think I was really paying attention at that time.

It took me time to realize that the men who won Olympic gold medals in the decathlon are just men, just like me.

As a young athlete, it was first about having fun; then it was about winning.
